Field Privileges

This set of privileges determines which fields users can view and update on forms in the selected project.

In SBM Composer, each field is assigned to a privilege section, which is used to group fields for display or to limit user accessibility to certain fields. When quick forms are used, field privilege sections are used to control security and field layout. When custom forms are used, field privilege sections are used to control security only.

Note: Section labels can be modified at a global level in SBM System Administrator and for each table in SBM Composer. Custom labels are listed in the Field privileges page when appropriate.

The following information applies to field privileges:

The following table describes each field privilege and the product-access types for which it applies. All field privileges apply to on-premise and on-demand customers.

Note: If you apply privileges to multiple projects while you are editing user or group accounts, your changes are added to the Changes Log in the upper right pane. You can then save your changes for multiple projects at one time rather than incrementally for each project.
